AUSTIN — Getting your picture taken with Santa is a special moment for any kid and something everyone should get at least once. Most of the time, the mall will bring back those memories. The lights, the music, and yes -- Santa.

Every kid there was able to sign with Santa and communicate with him. The Austin Optimism club helps put on the event with the school of the deaf in Austin. They've been doing this for the last 24 years and it means a lot for the parents.
